    (Re)Appropriation is practically a part of the job description for these chucklefucks. Things mean what they want them to. And while that’s part of how one enjoys art, in this context its routinely used to hurt people and contrary to the author’s (sometimes clearly documented) intent.

    Example: Using Rage Against the Machine at a conservative political rally.

    Message: It’s our rage and your machine now.
